I am running a web2py application on GAE. I would like to export different tables as CSV files from my application by way of the appadmin. (My goal is to create both a backup of the data and a test suite with actual data).
However, I am receiving the following "undefined record" error when viewing different tables using the appadmin: http://pastie.textmate.org/1444589 I am using web2py Version 1.83.2 and GAE release "1.4.0" Awhile back, Massimo had helped me to understand what appears to be a similar issue "It is trying to represent a reference field with an invalid reference" as described in this thread (although this earlier error was occuring in my application and not in the appadmin): http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/browse_thread/thread/4fbc46b845d19598/e57db67349a60181?lnk=gst&q=%22undefined+record%22#e57db67349a60181 When displaying tables by way of the appadmin is there any "represention of a reference field" which could be causing this issue? I believe I know what could have led to this issue, my client deleted a row from a table. This row is referenced by data in other tables. In thinking about a solution, I could try to re-create the entry in the table by way of the appadmin (I am pretty sure I have the information for this single row in the table from a previous backup). I could also use the Datastore Viewer in GAE's admin console to create or edit the entry. I also wonder if Google's bulk loader tool would be helpful in backing up, editing and restoring the data. Have other people run into this issue and if so, what steps have you taken to arrive at a solution? Also, do you have any recommendations for ways where I could periodically test for this kind of inconsistency? Do you have any suggestions for how I might prevent this issue from happening in the future?
